Keep Your Distance Where You Can

Consciously trying to keep reigniting this flame
Fighting to keep it the same
But it wavers
Why do you hold me so tight
Touch my lips and my waist
Is it all a mistake
But it's easy, an easy mistake to make

Draw a line in the sand
Or teach me how to withstand
Don't make me have to demand

To keep your distance where you can
All the signs they say that
But I can't seem to step back
From this invisible line
That keeps drifting and shifting all of the time
Tell me when am I supposed to love you
When am I supposed to leave you
Is it pessimistic or am I realistic?

Hopelessly living in a world that's forgiving of you
And everything that you do
I can't help it
Why do you drown me in words
It's a blessing and curse
It's a beautiful hurt
But now I'm numb and I feel so dumb

Please draw a line in the sand
Or teach me how to withstand
Do I have to demand

You keep your distance where you can
All the signs they say that
But you can't seem to step back
From this invisible line
That keeps drifting and shifting all of the time
Tell me when am I supposed to love you
When am I supposed to leave you
Is it pessimistic or am I realistic?

Ideally, dear
You would find a way to stay without having to walk away
If I run first, do I hurt last?
Swear to god couldn't have you look through me
Just like I'm made of glass

Keep your distance where you can
All the signs they say that
But we can't seem to step back
From this invisible line
That keeps drifting and shifting all of the time
Tell me when am I supposed to love you
When am I supposed to leave you
Oh is it pessimistic or am I realistic?

Please draw a line in the sand
Please draw a line in the sand
Keep your distance where you can

Keep safe behind these lines
It's not worth the fine
Keep your distance where you can
